⚖️ A Parenting Plan Is About More Than Just a Schedule

When parents separate, it’s easy to think a parenting plan is simply about deciding which days the children spend with each parent.

But in Florida, a parenting plan can address much more.

It may include:

🏠 How time with the children is divided
🏫 Who handles school-related decisions
🩺 How medical and healthcare decisions are made
📱 How parents communicate with the children
✈️ How holidays, vacations, and travel are handled
🤝 How important decisions involving the children are made

A well-thought-out parenting plan can help establish clear expectations and reduce confusion or disagreements later.

Every family is different, which is why there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach to creating a parenting plan.

Questions about parenting plans, timesharing, or another family law matter?

Carter Foreman, PLLC is here to help Florida families understand their options and navigate the process with confidence.

⚖️ LEGAL MYTH OR FACT?

“Probate always takes years to complete.”

❌ MYTH.

Probate has a reputation for being a long, complicated process—but it doesn’t always take years.

The amount of time an estate takes to move through probate can depend on many factors, including the type and complexity of the estate, creditor claims, disputes among interested parties, the assets involved, and whether the necessary information and documents are readily available.

Some estates may be relatively straightforward, while others can require considerably more time.

One thing that can help? Planning ahead.

Having an estate plan in place and keeping important documents, beneficiary information, and financial records organized can make things easier for the people handling your affairs.

📋 Probate isn't one-size-fits-all—and neither is estate planning.

⚖️ LEGAL MYTH OR FACT?

“Estate planning is something I don’t need to worry about until I’m older.”

❌ MYTH.

Estate planning isn’t just for later in life—and it isn’t only about what happens after you pass away.

A well-prepared estate plan can help make sure your wishes are known and identify who can step in to make important financial or healthcare decisions if you’re unable to make them yourself.

Major life changes—getting married, having children, buying a home, starting a business, or building financial assets—can all be good reasons to put a plan in place or review the one you already have.

The reality is, there’s no “perfect age” to start planning for the future.

📋 Estate planning isn’t about how old you are. It’s about being prepared for the unexpected and protecting the people and things that matter to you.

Have you been putting off your estate plan because you thought you had plenty of time? It may be a good time to start the conversation.

LEGAL⚖️ MYTH OR FACT?

“If I have a Will, my family won’t have to go through probate.”

❌ MYTH.

Having a Will is an important part of an estate plan—but a Will alone does not necessarily keep your assets out of probate.

How your assets are titled, whether beneficiaries are properly designated, and the other estate-planning tools you have in place can all play a role in what happens after you pass away.

A good estate plan isn’t just about having documents. It’s about making sure those documents—and your assets—work together.

📋 When was the last time you reviewed your estate plan?

If the answer is “I can’t remember,” it may be time for a check-in.

Remember a few years back when sellers held all the power and buyers were stuck offering way over asking or waiving inspections just to get a chance at the house? In many markets, those days are behind us.
